 I was sitting in that office and hearing it for sure that it was Hodgkin's lymphoma. I was just, there's no words. You never expect something like that from a clear child, you know, and scared. But the prayer started immediately, you know. From Arab Alabama, it's about a small rural town. Not really much to do there, we got a Walmart. Kind of got church, church the Dick deal course in the Bible Belt. So we're pretty sure that you have lymphoma. Maybe not being a medical person, I was like, what exactly is that? Well, it's type of blood cancer, it's like the leukemia family. And I know a little bit, it's like, okay, leukemia, that's kind of a bad cancer. So as there's any other chance that it might be just another infection, he's like, no, we're about 90% positive lymphoma. So I just got told like I had cancer, you know, like how do you react to that? I mean, unless we don't know what that's like ever. And it's like, hey, you have a deadly disease. Do you say thank you? Do you just stand there, stare? Do you cry? I feel like I just need to stay in the Marine Corps. Because the Marine Corps can do a lot of things for me. And I feel like I can do great things in the Marine Corps as well. So I figured I should fight for it. The determination that it takes to even have an opportunity to come back to recruit training and to say yes, it definitely presents the type of individual that we want. We foster a great environment for people like that. Because in surmountable odds, you're going to accomplish the mission and that's exactly what we look for. The past 956 days of my life have been the best days of my life. Cancer took away everything, but it gave me everything. It took away my mind, my body, my spirit. But then it gave me everything. Because I realized we're not going to live forever, that we're going to die one day. One day I'm going to wake up without my wife or she's going to wake up without me. It just made me treasure every time that we have. It taught me to value friendship, that having the biggest truck or the most valued possessions don't mean a thing. Because you can't take that with you. So it's to invest in people. Forever. You are now the guardians entrusted to ensure all glory, forever, lies. May God keep each one of you in the palm of His hands. Semper Fidelis. I went to the Marine Corps. They got me through the cancer. Because they gave me the mindset that I can do anything. And I'm very thankful for that.
